However, despite Pingwa's cultural significance and the use of his poetry, novels and prose in schools and universities, there has never been any substantial academic study of the writer and his writings. Filling that gap, this book examines the corpus of Pingwa's writing and emphasizes his importance, prominence and relevance to contemporary Chinese society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering study discusses Pingwa's works in the light of 'cultural nationalism', showing how he links the cultural identity of China with the cultural authenticity of his local Shaanxi Province. In addition, the book highlights issues of nationalism in contemporary Chinese literature and underpins the significance of regional writing in negotiating China's national identities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yiyan Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415326753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415326759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.36w x 0.91d","brand":"Yiyan Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136072626431,"sku":"9780415326759","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5354f14d-05be-407b-bcd5-a160e2db4192.jpg?v=1770160326","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrating-china-yiyan-wang-9780415326759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
